Answer:

6.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First try to find the rate he can paint per hour

375 ÷ 3 = 125 ft^2 per hour

Then try to find how long it should take it for him to paint 812.5 sq ft

812.5 ÷ 125 = 6.5 hours

PLZZZZ HELP What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is 3y=−4x+2 ?

earnstyle [38]

$\bf 3y=-4x+2\implies y=\cfrac{-4x+2}{3} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}x+\cfrac{2}{3}\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so the slope of that line above is really -4/3, now

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{3}{4}\implies \blacktriangleright \cfrac{3}{4} \blacktriangleleft}}$

How does this work?????

ankoles [38]

Answer:

x = 4 $\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right, solve for x using Pythagoras' identity, that is

x² = 8² + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80

Take the square root of both sides

x = $\sqrt{80}$ = $\sqrt{16(5)}$ = $\sqrt{16}$ × $\sqrt{5}$ = 4 $\sqrt{5}$ ← exact value

Are the ratios 25/45 and 15/27 proportional? Explain.

liberstina [14]

Write them out as a fraction then reduce them. If theyre the same then its proportional.

25/45 can be cancelled down to 5/9

15/27 can be cancelled down to 3/9

So no theyre not.
